Six Word Story #205

Six Word Story:

Your felicitous words, nothing but lies.

About This Six Word Story:

Felicitous- pleasant, delightful.

I mentioned in my last SWS post that I wanted to expand my vocabulary again and so I would be sharing stories with new words I learn. This is one of those. Recently, I came across the word felicitous which can be used as a synonym for pleasant or delightful.

As for the six word story, it’s about those people that love to talk but never back up those words with actions. We all know someone like that. They promise you all kinds of things but in the end it’s never more than words. Unfortunately, I’ve come across quite a few people like that in my life. And thankfully, not many of them remain in my life.

I think sometimes people like that aren’t bad per se but they can be people pleasers. So they make big promises but can’t follow through. On the other hand, some of those kind of people are bad. And are huge narcissists. They lie to manipulate others and make promises knowing fully well that they won’t follow through.

Are you familiar with the word felicitous or is it new to you? Have you ever used felicitous before in your writing? Let me know in the comments located below. And do share your own six word story or stories in the comments below using the word felicitous or one that goes with this theme. Or just share a totally random SWS because I always love reading them.

    I am familiar with the word actually but I haven’t really used it before. You use Merriam Webster’s word of the day, don’t you? I sometimes see some words from there showing up in your work. 🙂

    I was not familiar with the word.
    I use pertinent and apposite instead 🙂
    But, yes this was a great learning experience 🙏🏻

    You should do it more often, it’s a good practice for everyone. I’ve seen you always come with flamboyant words 😍

    As for the story, yes we do have people like that in life. I call them parasite. I’ve learned that not to expect anything for anything.

    Hey but, let’s talk about the word and story again. I think people fail to understand something here
    That you are a genius writer. I mean, not only came up with a fresh word, you made a SWS with it and you then gave a great example to do the justice to what you’ve written 😯💝

    You are not random, I mean you could have just given word randomly, and talked about some random stuff. But this is well designed 👏🏻

    Felicitous – I learned this word years ago when I was in a phase of learning words from this vocabulary book. Apparently that project wasn’t successful because I haven’t used that word since then. I find I’m terrible at learning adjectives and better at learning technical terms that I need for work. LOL

      Lol yeah, I’m bad at learning new words too but that’s why I want to use them on the blog in the hope that they’ll stick. I mean that makes sense since those technical terms are more useful for you.

        That’s also true. I don’t do a lot of descriptive writing for work so learning fancier words falls to the wayside, but technical terms like software terms tends to stick (although I don’t really understand them) because I run across them so often.

    Our school had a secretary who had a peculiar penchant for the word “felicitated.” Whenever he handed out congratulatory letters, you could bet your lunch money that “felicitated” would make a grand entrance. But here’s the twist – instead of making students feel like the heroes of the day, it somehow turned them into unintentional stars of misfortune. You’d be reveling in the glory of your achievements, and then *bam*, you’re “felicitated,” thrust into the unwelcome limelight like the star of an unexpected school drama. Laughter ensued not at the victories but at the quirky curse we believed accompanied that word. It was as if the universe conspired to turn every commendation into an unintended comedy. Oh, the curious curse of being “felicitated” at our school!💽📀

        We were challenged to guess what the word meant before it was revealed. Sometimes the guesses were very funny. The one that stuck in my juvenile mind was merkin. My guess for that one was, Merlin’s mischievous magic.
